Description: | A small cast spindle whorl, made from lead. The whorl is roughly circular in shape, with a hole through the middle. One surface is flat the other is domed. The edges are rounded. The piece is undecorated. The piece is complete, with little wear other than a small dent. The surface is smooth and shiny with a speckled dark whitish-grey colour. Such spindle whorls were used from the Anglo-Saxon period through to the medieval period, but a later date cannot be ruled out.
